How editors and ghostwriters make books better – with Tim Phillips
Manage episode 437005057 series 2775828
Behind every great author is a host of unsung editors. By convention, they don’t get their names on books. What are they doing behind the scenes?
A good book needs hundreds of decisions made and pieces organised. For this there are commissioning editors, development editors, production editors, copy editors, permissions editors, assistant editors, and proofreaders. Many books have ghostwriters, too. They’re all focused on making books better.
Arthur speaks to editor and writer Tim Phillips about what editors do, and how they work with authors and publishers. We also get an insider’s view on the world of ghostwriting, and Tim’s advice for making your own writing clear and effective.
